Use three sheet metal screws to attach

 

 

the flex liner to the connector (Figure

sonry wall using masonry bolts. Redrill

 

 

larger holes on connector as needed.

 

 

Be careful to ensure that the connector

 

 

is centered in the opening and the

 

 

mounting holes line up with the masonry

 

 

wall.

Slide wall thimble cover (SDV

 

 

#940) over retro connector and secure

 

 

with masonry bolts (Figure 27). If you

 

 

have a framed wall in front of the ma-

 

 

sonry, use wood screws to mount wall

 

 

thimble cover to framed wall, over retro

 

 

 

 

connector and 10" (254mm) square

 

 

 

 

framed opening (Figure 22). If needed,

 

 

add a section of direct vent pipe to the

 

 

retro connector in order to extend

 

 

through the opening in the wall thimble

ance and the retro connector may be completed with sections of direct vent pipe.
